Shin wins Australian Women’s Open after switch to JPX825 Pro irons
Mizuno’s Jiyai Shin completed her 11th win on the LPGA Tour after switching to Mizuno’s new JPX825Pro irons. The ISPS Handa Australian Women’s Open was held at Royal Canberra .
Shin co-lead into the final round but pulled away to win by 2 shots – confirming a return to form that was suggested by winning the 2012 Women’s British Open. Shin played Mizuno’s MP Driver, JPX825 Pro irons and MP T4 wedges.
Shin was delighted with the win and her Mizuno equipment which has added some recent length to her always accurate game, “With my new JPX825 Pro irons, i’m now hitting a full club longer. I didn’t expect to win so fast after changing irons, but the distance control was good and i adapted very easily .”
The win raises Shin to 6th position on the Rolex rankings – just behind fellow Mizuno player Stacy Lewis who holds the 3rd position.
